130% of the way from (2,9,7) to (4,-3,1)

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 3

The position vector between the two points A(2,9,7)A (2, 9, 7) and B(4,3,1)B (4, –3, 1) is

AB=BA\overline{AB}=\overline{B}-\overline{A}

=(4i^3j^+k^)(2i^+9j^+7k^)=(4\widehat{i}-3\widehat{j}+ \widehat{k})-(2\widehat{i}+9 \widehat{j}+7\widehat{k})

=2i^12j^6k^=2 \widehat{i}-12\widehat{j}-6\widehat{k}
